Ever since I was a teenager I've wanted a one-handed keyboard that I could use while walking around. Of course, at the time, I also had visions of a battery-powered desktop in a backpack and a head-mounted display.
I recall the FrogPad and other chording keyboards that I can't recall the name of, especially one that had switched surrounding each finger giving 3 or 4 switches to each finger without moving the finger position.
Anyway, even though I never got a google glass, the dream lives on. Except today the input interface that I would choose that's just out of reach is a subvocalization interface.

- ungamed 6y agoI tried using it with emacs, with hilarious results.. It is -much- harder than you'd think.
- _emacsomancer_ 6y agoI've been gradually working on an emacs-centric layout for it: https://gitlab.com/emacsomancer/m-x-tabspace https://gitlab.com/emacsomancer/m-x-tabspace
- 0_gravitas 6y agoIt seems like it would lend itself better to the modal editing of neo/vi/m
- IggleSniggle 6y agoIt wasn't (I was remembering the DataHand), but the Twiddler looks like it's right up my alley!
- _emacsomancer_ 6y agoand it's been around since at least the 90s. (it's on the 3rd iteration.) a bit on the pricey-side, but I suppose that's not unexpected for a 'niche' device.

- IggleSniggle 6y agoYup. That's the one. Thanks!
